Late in 1941 German submarines were sinking ships near the United States East Coast.  Presedent Roosevelt established a 200 mile Neutrality Zone off the coast and told Germany to KEEP OUT.  I was a bombardier and flew out of Westover Field, MA on Neutrality Patrol.  Today I searched my mind to recall flying anti-sub Patrol and the Norden Bombsight. (The eye piece on the sight should be centered with the optical flat window).  So a little goof.





Lung Tom: Lung is Thai for "Uncle" the u is pronounced as a oo as in loose.
